Wayfinding Signage Plan

The Churton Street Corridor Strategic Plan, adopted in 2006, recommended the development of a wayfinding plan.  In May 2008 the Wayfinding Task Force was formed with the goal of creating a wayfinding signage plan that celebrates the character and heritage of Hillsborough. The task force worked with town staff and a consultant, Design Workshop, to create a coordinated directional and destination signage system. The Wayfinding Plan, Sign Manual and Sign Program were adopted by the Hillsborough Board of Commissioners on July 13, 2009. The PowerPoint presentation to the board may be viewed here.

The Wayfinding Signage Plan is the comprehensive document that contains the plan development, needs analysis and recommendations. The Wayfinding Sign Manual provides the sign fabrication specifications. The Wayfinding Sign Program details the process of creating the sign template and sign design family. These documents may be viewed below.
